The isolator system in principal sounds good, I just don't trust anything between the battery and the receiver. Even a switch, thats why I use two totally separate ones.
Regulators, isolators, etc. may be OK I just like to keep it simple!! Your statement about the servos drawing down VOLTAGE is precisely why I use two receiver packs, and why I really like my Duralite setup! You put a 2400ma Duralite on line and your not going to see the voltage ever drop low enough to lockout a receiver. I did experience my first receiver lockout do to low voltage years ago. The D/F had 15 servos and at the time I only had one 2000ma 4.8 receiver pack, I learned a lesson from that day on ----------
